The court ordered that the difference be referred to the next court, where Tayler was to give a full accounting of the crop, both sold and unsold.

In 1740 he deeded 800 acres to Robert Andrews in trust, providing that William and wife Mary were to remain there as long as they lived, and then it was to go to their son William.

(NOTE: Selby Gore's mother Mary Selby married first Daniel Gore (died by 1720) and married second William Andrews, who was alive when Selby died, and would have been the logical choice to settle his step-son's estate. It should also be NOTED that Ralph Justice was normally a justice on the court and had been a justice the day before (26 May 1741) and the day after (30 Jun 1741), but was not a justice on this day, probably because he brought this and another action before the justices for a decision.
